#542 Brother Laser Printer, HTC RE Camera, Manfrotto Tripod, XcodeGhost, iGadgitz Armband, Damson Headbones

Since Steve and I took a little vacation, Steven Goetz from stevengoetz.ca jumped in to give me a hand with a review of his new Brother multi-function laser printer. I'll tell you the story of how the magic of Apple Photos helped me have fun with the wine pourer at Fess Parker Winery. George from Tulsa also jumped in to fill the gap as I lazied about on vacation with a review of the fun little wide-angle HTC RE Camera. I explain why I had to keep getting new tripods and finally purchased the Manfrotto Compact Action Tripod (in Red). In Chit Chat Across the Pond Bart gives us a deep dive on this XcodeGhost story that let a huge number of infected apps into the iOS App Store and as usual tells us whether or not we should light our hair on fire about it. After that he tells us about two really good accessories for his iPhone while cycling. First he tries (and mostly succeeds) at convincing me that the iGadgitz Reflective Anti-Slip Neoprene Sports Gym Jogging Armband is the first armband I might actually like, and the Damson Headbones - bone conducting Bluetooth headphones that I'm sure I would like.

I created a video screencast for Don McAllister's ScreenCasts Online on VidConvert from reggieashworth.com and Mactracker from mactracker.ca and you can watch the trailer at screencastsonline.com. I finally produced my video trying to explain to normal people how encryption works and why you need long, complex passwords. Share with your friends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0B6353R0rQ. Dr. Maryanne Garry will give us her early review of the iPad Pro. In a moment of more reality, I figured out that you actually can conduct video interviews, edit and produce them using an iPad and iMovie. Improvements to the NosillaCast News because Darren asked me to. In Chit Chat Across the Pond Dr. Maryanne Garry in a more serious vein answers questions from the audience about memory, focus, attention and deja vu, and then explains the effects of sleep on cognition.

Send in your questions you'd like to have Professor Maryanne Garry answer on the show about the brain, memory or how we perceive things for a show in a few weeks. I have an argument with myself about whether the use of ad blockers are essentially stealing or whether their our only defense against emotional damage. My octogenarian father-in-law explains how 1Password made his computing experience so much easier in a video interview I hope you'll use to convince others to use a password manager. A quick review of a USB-C dongle for $20 from Aerb that does 90% of what I need on my 12" MacBook. In Chit Chat Across the Pond Bart takes us through part 2 of his explanation of how to use HSXKpasswd from the command line and how to create our own configuration files. It's one that really would be helpful if you read along with his shownotes while you work it out on your own!

I give you some thoughts about Apple Photos now that the honeymoon is over, and it's not all happy happy joy joy. A lot of people say we don't NEED smart watches but I had an example where the Apple Watch really saved me.
